Each of the 44 helmets were decorated by a Limburg municipality and brought back together to create this exhibition Limburg 1914-1918. They show very different and varied perspectives on the theme of war and memory. At the memorial park are information boards with more background information about the helmets.
In the future the creations on the helmets will fade and nature will incorporate the helmets into the landscape. Such as dolmen and menhirs that are overgrown with moss and grass. These faded helmets symbolize the returned soldiers who tried to reintegrate into society.
